Macau Pavilion

On-yi Lo

Many were undecided whether the Macau pavilion at the 2010 World Expo was supposed to be a rabbit or a chicken…

We understand that it has actually been designed to look like a rabbit lantern sitting under China’s national pavilion. The pavilion is covered by a double-layer glass membrane and fluorescent screens. Kinetic balloons form the head and tail of the ‘rabbit’. In Chinese mythology, the jade rabbit welcomes visitors to a magical fairyland.

    Embedding displays into the overall landscape brings together the notion of a Digital Brandscape. This work at the Macau Pavilion defines the new path toward the integration of media and art away from the home.
